urbanisation

This topic explores urbanisation in the context of Class 12 History and the chapter “Kings, Farmers and Towns.” Students learn how towns emerged and expanded through agricultural surplus, craft production, trade, taxation and political administration. They examine the relationship between kings, farmers, merchants and artisans, while using archaeological remains, inscriptions, coins and literary sources to understand urban life, economic activity and social change in early Indian history.

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A. It promoted occupations and trade

The governing concept is the relationship between craft specialisation and urbanisation. Regular craft production creates specialised occupations, attracts workers and consumers, generates exchange, and supports markets and inter-settlement trade. These processes help sustain larger and more complex towns, so option A is correct. Craft production did not empty towns or end exchange, and its urban contribution was not limited to increasing agriculture; options B, C, and D reverse the historical relationship.
